Palestra internacional com professor da Poli discutirá as ameaças da mineração à biodiversidade e as consequências de uma transição para a energia verde

When: July 01, 2021 – 07:00 PM to July 01, 2021 – 08:30 PM, BRT.

Organization: IEA’s Environment and Society Research Group

The UN Sustainable Development Goals, as well as the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity, set an ambitious conservation agenda.

The lecture “Mining Threats to Biodiversity and the Consequences of a Green Energy Transition” will address the role of mining in nature conservation, at the same time an important threat to biodiversity and the activity that produces the materials needed to face other threats, in particular climate change. 

Presented by Laura Sonter (University of Queensland) and coordinated by Luis Enrique Sánchez (IEA and USP’s Polytechnic School), the event will discuss current ways of mitigating impacts, such as compensation for loss of biodiversity, and how they are unable to offset the losses.

The event will be live-streamed at http://www.iea.usp.br/aovivo.
